C1⇒x2+y2−10x−10y+41=0(x−5)2+(y−5)2+41=25+25⇒ Centre =(5,5) and radius =3⇒(x−5)2+(y−5)2=32C2⇒x2+y2−16x−10y+80=0⇒(x−8)2+(y−5)2+80=64+25⇒(x−8)2+(y−5)2=32⇒ Centre =(8,5) and radius =3 Now, distance between centres =(8−5)2+(5−5)2=3 Average radii =23+3=3∴ Option (a) is correct. C1(8,5)=(8−5)2+(5−5)2−9=0C2(5,5)=(5−8)2+(5−5)2−9=0 Centers of each other lies on circumference of each other. Hence, (b) is incorrect statement.
